An excellent classroom resource for kids to preteen ages

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 30, 2018

This has made such a big difference in my classroom. I’m so tired of being required to test my kids’ learning styles, finding it that half of them are kinesthetic learners, then having NO way to implement that knowledge. Now I can look through the book (which is helpfully sorted by subject, rather than by age, like many other similar books) and choose an activity that will take about a week to complete and be much more fun and memorable than a textbook or lecture. They’re kids! We’ve got to start designing lessons that respect their developmental status, rather than asking all children to fit into the same kind of learning box.

I also can’t speak highly enough of what the constant teamwork has done for the classroom social relations. The work is designed in the book to lend itself to every child having a job. So kids who were more withdrawn, more bossy, more inconsistent in work ethic are now accountable to each other. It’s also helped people be more friendly to one another— even if occasionally there are some disagreements :)

This book is FULL of amazing ideas, that really fit nicely into what I teach in 5th grade. Although I am at the end of the school year this year, with really just testing and a few days left, I look forward to using this a lot next year! I love how each PBL is set up in an order to follow, and that there are chapters before and after to kind of help you know what you should do to get started, as well as if you find yourself stuck with a few issues. Thank you so much for all of the hard work you put into this!

Everyone learns in different ways. This book is a great book for teachers of third to fifth graders looking for a different approach than you are using now. Step by step instructions are given for the project-based learning basics. Once the basics are implemented in the classroom, your mind with come up with even more ideas than are in this book. Areas covered are Science and Stem, Math and Financial Literacy, and English Language Arts. Each have 25 projects. I especially like the Project Wrap-Up guidelines and hints given. This makes it so simple. Every teacher needs this book!

I loved this book!!! April’s ideas are dead on and make you think why didn’t I think of that or man, that would look amazing in my classroom. It’s such an easy read and all ideas are easy enough to implement. I cannot wait to bring a lot of these ideas into the classroom. I’m a new 5th grade teacher and have loved PBL but this is going to be the Wong of PBL!!! Thank you for all of your hard work and sharing such amazingly creative projects to engage/challenge our young minds.

I absolutely LOVE this book! This is my first year doing project based learning and it has SO many ideas to work with!! It is so easy to use and incorporate! Even if something doesn’t align up exactly to what you are planning to do, she makes it so simple to get the “big picture” so you can tweak it to be your own! Honestly one of the best educational book purchases I have made!!

Project-based fun!

So far, I like this book alot. I work with gifted students and this book provides opportunity for differentiation. The section in the front describes how you can make the tasks more or less challenging. I will be doing the "Create a Math Game," project and altered the math facts to be reflective of what we are currently learning.

I started doing PBL’s this year and my students ❤️ them. I ordered this book 📖 because it said “Made Simple” and boy does it! After reading the book, I’ve got LOTS of ideas 💡 for next year (see photo). Thanks April for making PBL’s easy to understand and easy to incorporate in my classroom for ALL my students. #pblmadesimple #performingineducation

A must have for all teachers especially ones teaching third thru fifth grades. This well-organized information packed book is just what’s needed to get started in or improve project based learning skills. Really a wealth of information including 100 projects, and all the information needed to get up to speed quickly. Looking forward to more from this author.

Excellent PBL ideas!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 6, 2018

This is an excellent book for any teachers getting started with PBL! It is also great for teachers who are familiar with PBL to spark further ideas. I recommend grade level teams looking through it together and tabbing a few ideas that they want to expand on. Every single 3-5 teacher can take away several ideas from this book!
